2.8 How do you backup the data of the electronic type plate? 
  Replacing an encoder for SIMOTICS S-1FK7 G2, S-1FG1 and S-1FT7

For SINAMICS, this is how you backup the electronic type plate data 
Procedure 
Danger of death if the encoder is not properly installed or the safety devices do not work 
If the encoder or any other parts of the machine are not properly installed or any safety 
devices do not work, this could result in death or injury. 
•  Make sure all parts of the machine are correctly installed and connected. 
•  Make sure all safety devices are switched on again and working correctly. 
1.  Switch on the machine. 
2.  Identify the component number of the encoder module to be saved in the topology tree. 
3.  Write the component number of the encoder module whose electronic type plate is to be 
saved to the memory card to parameter p4690. 
4.  To begin saving, set the p4691 parameter to "1". 
→ If the operation is successful, the value of the p4691 parameter changes back to "0". 
→ If the p4691 parameter changes to a value other than "0", this number will help you identify 
why the write operation failed. 
Note 
You can find the meanings of the 
parameter values in List Manual 1 as well as in the online 
The electronic type plate data are automatically saved to the correct path on the system card 
(CF card). 
You have backed up the electronic type plate data to the CF card.
